What does a complete blood count detect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wbcs, Rbcs, and plts: The complete blood count measures the number and types of white blood cells ( these fight infection). Red blood cells, hemoglobin, and hematocrit measure the availability of the cells which carry oxygen. Platelets are also measured. These are the elements that are involved in blood clotting.
